Current Projects

We are constantly striving to increase production and generate income for the area. To do this, certain thinks need to happen and they all have a cost. Because of the remoteness of the area, services like electricity are non-existent. Income generating projects outside of agriculture are near impossible and this creates a lack of meaningful employment. Without financial support to complete the projects, the goal of being self-sufficient will not happen. We need your help.
Phase 2 of our community economic programme is ready to commence. Trees are a necessary commodity, low maintenance and a continuous source of income. See TREES


Due to a huge increase in the inflation rate over the past 4 months, the budget has been adjusted for June/08. The original proposal was set six months ago and cost have increased 25-90% since the beginning of the year. Roofing nails, as an example, were 3500/kilo in February and now are 6500/kilo (in shillings). We bought roofing sheets for the kitchen in March at 14,000/=  and now they sell at 18,000/=. In spite of the increases, we will make every effort to reduce costs by finding alternatives locally while maintaining strict safety guidelines.
